This imperial palace is different from the Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is modeled after the model of the Ziwei City of Luoyang Palace, built on the basis of the old palace of the five dynasties.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, in order to show that he was diligent and thrifty, loved the people and attached great importance to agricultural affairs, he set up the Guanjia Hall and the Silkworm Palace in the palace.

In the Guanjia Hall in the back garden, the emperor planted rice in front of the palace every year and harvested it after autumn.

As the mother of a country, the queen holds a silkworm ceremony in the silkworm palace every spring and completes the entire silkworm raising process.

So although this palace is magnificent, it does not have the luxury that came later.

Qian Yan only took a general look, and did not go out of her way to find out the whereabouts of the emperor.

"Sister Yang, I'll let someone take you to wash up and rest first, and then let someone invite you at dinner, today I will go to the palace to report the matter of going out here, and tomorrow you will go into the palace with me to see the queen mother, do you think it is feasible?"

The three of them entered the hall in the front yard, and Zhao Rixin said to Tilt Yan.

Since he is back, he will definitely go to the palace today to meet his father, and then go to tell his mother about the arrival of the Yang family's sister, and then we will enter the palace together tomorrow.

Qian Yan nodded without objection, she didn't know much about the royal rules, so she just let him arrange it.

"Okay, then I'll go and rest first, if you can't come back at dinner, I'll use it in the house, just call me tomorrow before entering the palace."

"Okay, if I am left in the palace for dinner, I will let people come back and say, Sister Yang has a good rest."

After speaking, Zhao Rixin recruited the housekeeper and asked him to take Tianyan to live in the guest house closest to the main courtyard, and arranged for two clever maids to wait.

Qian Yan said goodbye to him and Chen Huanqing, and left with the steward.

Chen Huanqing "reluctantly" watched Qian Yan go out of the door, sighed, he hadn't asked the other party if he could instruct him on kung fu.

Although Tilt Yan said that there was no family heirloom, he always felt that there must be some tricks, so he thought about asking for advice.

It's just that I also know that the other party has just arrived in the capital, and he is tired all the way, and he has also subdued the nameless killer, so he must take a break.

I just don't know if there will be a chance after that, I heard the second prince say that the other party came out to travel through the capital, and I don't know how many days I can stay.

"Huh? Where did this cat come from? When did you get a yellow cat in your house again? It's still so fat. ”

Chen Huanqing turned around and saw that Zhao Rixin had a big yellow fat cat in his arms, and he was accepting his smooth hair with a look of enjoyment.

He knew that there was a cat in the Second Prince's Mansion, but it was a dark gray tanuki, and the cat was very arrogant, often squatting on the roof and walls, and did not like to contact people at all except when feeding.

Zhao Rixin complained to him a lot before, he likes cats, but cats don't like him.

It seems that he has raised another one that likes to be close to people, "This cat is good, but it is closer to people than your raccoon flower, and it looks like this is still a person who likes to let people hold their hair." ”

Zhao Rixin rubbed Yuanbao's head before replying: "This is the Yang family's sister's cat, called Jin Yuanbao, I don't know if it has a relationship with me, it likes to stick to me."

Don't look at its delicate and cute appearance now, it can be brave and tight against the enemy.

At that time, a thief raised a knife and slashed at me, Sister Yang was a three-point opponent and lacked skills, it was Yuan Bao who jumped up and slashed the thief's throat with his claws, and cut the thief to force him out of the carriage in one fell swoop.

After that, the horse-drawn cart just ran over the thief, and in this way a thief was solved......"

Zhao Rixin said that Chen Huanqing listened to it with relish.

After listening to this, he sighed and said: "This Yang girl is really a strange person, not only is she good at martial arts, but the cats she raises are all human, and she can protect the master at critical moments." ”

"Meow~" Yuan Bao accepted his praise with a proud face.

"Hey! Does it still understand? ”

Chen Huanqing pointed at Yuan Bao Dao with a surprised expression.

"Meow woo~"

Rolling his eyes at him, Yuan Bao turned over in Zhao Rixin's arms, and asked him to follow the hair on the other side, and he was not ready to pay attention to this second fool.

"It just glared at me, didn't it? Right? This cat is too human, I'm afraid it's not a sperm, right? ”

Chen Huanqing said with wide eyes towards Zhao Rixin.

Zhao Rixin was amused by the interaction between the two of them, and while continuing to give Yuan Bao a hair, he said: "This pet is its owner, whether it is a cat or a dog or a cow or a horse, it will have spirituality after a long time, presumably Sister Yang should be an eccentric on weekdays, and Yuan Bao will be so clever."

Also, don't look at the raccoon cat I raised, it's usually very arrogant, and I won't let me touch it, but when I get to my mother, it's very well-behaved, and it will rub and roll and sell well. ”

Chen Huanqing: "I want to raise one as you say, hey~ I don't know if there is fate, I met a lovely kitten."

Rixin, you let me hug the ingots, look at its lazy appearance, I want to give it Shunshun hair. ”

Zhao Rixin did not agree directly, but looked at the ingots in his arms and asked softly, "Yuanbao, are you willing to let him hug you?" ”

Yuan Bao "meowed" and plunged his head into his arms, and his attitude of refusal was obvious.

Zhao Rixin made a helpless expression towards Chen Huanqing.

This is his life-saving cat, and it is impossible for him to go against the wishes of the little ingot.

Chen Huanqing looked deflated, and said in a retreat: "Then can I touch it?" ”

Zhao Rixin looked at Yuan Bao again, and Yuan Bao raised his head arrogantly.

Zhao Rixin's eyes were full of doting smiles, "Yuan Bao said yes." ”

Chen Huanqing stretched out his hand and touched it tentatively, and when he saw that it really didn't dodge, he generously took several handfuls.

At this time, the steward also came back, and after a while, Qian Yan had settled down there, and saw if there were any other instructions here.

Zhao Rixin asked him to entertain Chen Huanqing, and he himself went back to the room to wash up, change his clothes, and prepare to enter the palace.

Chen Huanqing did not delay him from entering the palace, and directly said goodbye, he had to go back to the north gate to be on duty, and by the way, he was waiting for the people sent out to come back to restore his life.

When she arrived at the guest house, she first sat in the flower hall for a while, and the guest house was not inhabited, so she had to clean it up.

Sanitation is usually cleaned, mainly to burn the fire wall, make the bed, and boil the water for bathing.

There is a separate small kitchen in the guest house, and you don't need to go to the big kitchen to boil water, just boil it here.

Qian Yan looked at the entire Second Prince's Mansion with her divine sense, and found that there were people living in the main courtyard and the subordinate room, and the other courtyards were empty.

Such a big yard turned out to be Zhao Rixin's master, and this residence is really spacious enough.

Of course, if he has a wife and concubine and children in the future, he should not be so empty, but I don't know if he will die early like the world on her side.

She wanted to remind him when she turned around, one is to think about his father's body, the second is to guard against some uncles, and the third is not to think about it at every turn, rather than killing himself, it is better to fight, it is better than dying.

After all, an acquaintance is the fate of two generations of mother and son, as for whether it is useful or not, then she doesn't know, she can stay here for a few months, according to Taizu's death, there are still several years to go.

When the bedroom was cleaned up and the fire wall was burning, Qian Yan went inside.

At this time, the bath water was also boiled, she didn't let people serve, she directly dismissed the two maids, and took out a change of underwear from the storage bag.

The clothes outside were in the baggage she was holding, used to hide people's eyes and ears.

took a good hot shower and changed clothes before calling the two in.

The two had a clear division of labor, one went to call someone to come in and carry the water out and pour it out, and the other followed Tilt Yan into the inner room with a cloth towel to help her wipe her hair.

Tilt Yan sat in front of the dresser, letting the little maid gently wipe her long hair and rub her head.

She was already a little tired, but when she pressed it like this, she was even more drowsy.

When her hair was almost wiped off, she hurriedly got into bed with the help of the maid.

The quilt was warm, and Qian Yan was a little puzzled, this was obviously not a fire pit.

Then she touched a hot thing, it turned out that she had put the soup woman in advance, no wonder.

Lying in the warm quilt, the sleepiness was even more powerful, and after a while she fell asleep.

When she had fallen asleep, the two maids came out of the inner room, and did not leave, but went to a small cubicle next to her, where they were ready to be dispatched.

One took the clothes that she had changed and went outside, she had to wash them out, and when they were not dripping outside, they could be taken into a separate compartment, where there were walls of fire on both sides, and even if the cotton clothes were hung inside, they would dry out overnight.

She slept until it was dark, and the two maids put the food in the outhouse before she woke her up.

and told her that Zhao Rixin asked people to come back to summon the news, and dinner should be used in the palace, and she would come back later.

This delay will not exceed nine o'clock, and the palace gate will be locked at nine o'clock, and you can only stay in it if it is late.

Dinner is four dishes and one soup, there are meat and vegetarian, but the meat used is mutton and chicken, the beef royal has to lead by example, so it is easy not to serve on the table, the pork is too fishy, it is eaten by the common people, and the aristocratic royal family does not eat it.

The taste of the dish is good, that is, there is more soup in it, the staple food is soup dumplings, and the soup is a relatively light tonic soup, which is more suitable for drinking before going to bed at night.

After eating, he didn't wait for Zhao Rixin, and it was not good for him to come back and talk to her at night, so he walked around the house a few times to eliminate food, and then went to bed and lay down again.

It wasn't strange that Yuan Bao didn't return to her, that guy seized the time and didn't want to leave Zhao Rixin for almost a moment, he had the opportunity to enter the palace, and he didn't want to let it go, so he stuck to the people with his dead face and followed him into the palace.

You must know that the palace is where the emperor lives, and if a prince is so attracted to it, the breath on the emperor's body can only be stronger.

As a result, when he saw Zhao Rixin again the next day, he found that Yuanbao was not by his side.

Seeing that Qian Yan looked left and right, she knew that she was looking for Yuanbao, Zhao Rixin explained to her: "Yuanbao has to enter the palace with me, no matter how coaxed he is, he doesn't want to stay in the mansion, but he met the imperial uncle on the way to the palace yesterday, and it stuck to the imperial uncle."

Fortunately, Uncle Huang is the same as me, he likes cats, and he also has one at home, and he also likes it when he sees the ingots sticky like this, and says that he will take them back for two days, and then send the ingots back after two days.

If Sister Yang is not at ease, I will go over in the afternoon to pick it up. ”

When Qian Yan heard that the ingots were taken away by his imperial uncle, she shook her head and said, "No, let it play for two days, I'm afraid of disturbing your imperial uncle." ”

"No, no, my imperial uncle loves it very much, hugging it and smiling, I rarely see the imperial uncle so happy."

Zhao Rixin breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Qian Yan would be angry and let him put the ingots in someone else's house casually.

Qian Yan was thinking about letting Yuan Bao absorb the dragon qi on his imperial uncle's body, she was worried that Yuan Bao would affect him if he absorbed the dragon qi on Zhao Rixin's body, although Yuan Bao said no, then how can it be accurate, in case it sucks high and can't control itself.

Now it's okay, go directly to suck the future emperor, it's not good to suck away part of the dragon qi on the other party, and the other party can't be the emperor anymore, and maybe it will be Zhao Rixin's turn to succeed to the throne at that time.

Although his father did not mean to let him succeed to the throne, the other party probably didn't expect that his own brother didn't treat his son well, and both sons died at a young age.

If I knew what happened to my son, I might regret it.

If the ingots really want to help them get through this catastrophe by mistake, it can be regarded as a good thing.

Thinking about it, she used her divine sense to probe the location of the ingot, and found that the mansion where it was now was not far from Zhao Rixin, and it was also two streets away.

Of course, it's a straight-line distance, and if you go in the past, you have to take a detour, and there are no alleys or streets in the middle.

However, the mansion is much bigger than Zhao Rixin, too, people are crowned kings, and they also have real power in their hands, otherwise how can they become emperors in a few years.

Qian Yan tried to transmit the voice to Yuanbao to see if she could contact it, and found that it was really good, it seems that her consciousness has improved again.

Although she relies on spirit stones to supply spiritual energy when she uses her divine sense, the size of the range still depends on her usual exercise, and it seems that it is still effective.

It's just that some of them are like unstable signals, not clear when they're around, and a little intermittent.

It took two repetitions to make it clear to the ingot, so that it could absorb the dragon qi on the other party's body while protecting its own safety.

She didn't say that the other party might be the next emperor, but judging from the situation of ingots sticking to others, she knew that the dragon qi on the other party's body was many times richer than Zhao Rixin's body.

At this time, the guy was lying on the other party's lap, constantly rolling and selling cuteness, looking like a good baby.

Qian Yan also took a look at the legendary emperor who killed his brother and ascended the throne, of course, this is just a legend in the wild history, and the official history is not written like this.

The official history says that Taizu's mother, Empress Dowager Du, left a last word, expressing the hope that the principle of brother to brother and brother will be implemented, so Taizu has made clear instructions before his death to pass the throne to his younger brother.

It is said that it was because Taizu faced tremendous internal and external pressures in the process of establishing the Northern Song Dynasty, including the threat of the Khitan tribe in the north and the existence of the Later Shu regime in the south.

Considering these factors, he thought that it would be more appropriate for the younger brother to continue to rule, but it was always a little abnormal in the eyes of future generations not to pass it on to his son, but to pass it on to his brother.
